Explicitly loading i915 becomes a problem when upstreaming the new intel driver for Tiger Lake and higher graphics (xe). By loading i915, it doesn't wait for driver load of xe, and will fail completely before it loads. -EPROBE_DEFER has to be returned before any device is created in probe(), otherwise the removal of the device will cause EPROBE_DEFER to try again in an infinite loop. The conversion is done in gradual steps. First I add an argument to snd_hdac_i915_init to allow for -EPROBE_DEFER so I can convert each driver separately. Then I convert each driver to move snd_hdac_i915_init out of the workqueue. Finally I drop the ability to choose modprobe behavior after the last user is converted. Compared to previous version, I picked up Pierre's changes to add a probe_no_wq, added remove_no_wq myself and then fixed the SOF changes to use it.
